Why did autorun stop working for installing my custom application?

It use to work.

I created numerous coppies of my MS Access2003 developed application for
distribution using both the new Startup and Package and Deployment
wizzards (that also incudes autorun automatically customized for my
application) that is a part of The the Visual Studio Developer
Extensions. I used copies to test installation on my own machine (after
uninstalling each previous test install of my application). It installs
without incident. Eventually, the autorun would never kick in. Instead,
I get an open window that shows what files are available on the CD Rom
that I burned.

I then tested a MS software product to see if autorun for my CD was
truned on. It worked just fine. But when I tried reinstalling my
application, it still would not work.

Hello all, I needed this and did a quick search around and didn't see any examples. I knew it had to be easy, and it was. So here it is a CD_Autorun program in python. It is very simple and without comments is only about 30 lines. Also included a setup.py at the end of the script so you can 'compile' it easily. py>#####################################################################

Hi, I added dotnetfx.exe to a setup project as a custom action to be installed before the main app is installed. I set the Arguments property to /q:a /c:"install /l /q" for a silent install but it complains that its already installed, then I set the Condition to check as Installed == false and that doesnt work. How can one do this on a setup project?

I know this is probably not the proper newsgroup to ask this question, but I do not know which one is. And most of you guys here know a lot about windows programming so I am taking a chance some one here may be able to answer this simple question. If I burn a CD/DVD and include a file in the root of the burned disk called Autorun.inf and the contents of it is: open=C:\Program Files\myProgram.EXE

Hi all I wanna run my application directly from a Flash Disk. I want it AUTORUN once the device is attached. I have seen some virus script-programs which create their own autoruns on a specific Flash Disk device. It would be very thankful If anyone could tell me about it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
